He surrendered three runs in the first inning, on three hits and three walks, and then gave up singles to the first two hitters he faced in the second inning before being pulled. One of those runners would come around to score, leaving Smith with four earned runs on five hits and three walks in one inning of work.

This is the second time in three starts Smith has been unable to get out of the second inning. He threw 42 pitches in the outing, as his ERA rose to 18.41. Smith earned the loss, in a 5-3 game.

Smith is not assured another turn in the rotation with how poorly he has pitched, but he is currently scheduled to start Tuesday against the Mariners. 

He held the Padres to a run on a Jedd Gyorko solo home run in the seventh inning, while scattering four hits and a walk. He struck out four and needed just 81 pitches to finish his seven innings of a 5-3 win.

He is batting .255 since being recalled from Triple-A at the beginning of May, with two home runs and seven RBI in 13 games. 

Young opened the scoring with a solo home run to left center in the fourth inning, providing the winning run in a 3-0 final. He ended up going 2 for 4 with two runs scored and one driven in.

Still, Chicago is OK with what they have at the major league level right now. 

"When you make a switch at an integral position like that, you have to look at sort of the potential of the unintended consequences," general manager Rich Hahn told MLB.com Wednesday. "It's not just an offensive change. There's also a very important defensive component. We are on a good roll right now from what our pitchers are doing. Nor is it reasonable to say, 'All right, Josh is hitting (.333) in Triple-A so come up here and do the same thing in his major-league debut and then take over this pitching staff and let's go. That being said, I do think that Josh is showing himself capable of potentially being an impact catcher at the major-league level."
